Inaugural Santa Fe Magazine Festival Debuts June 2026

Santa Fe Magazine is pleased to announce the inaugural Santa Fe Magazine Festival, commencing Friday evening, June 12, with a Wild West Show at the legendary Eaves Movie Ranch. The festival schedule continues through Sunday, June 14.

For the past five years, Santa Fe Magazine has produced an iconic chronicle of this extraordinary city. As local Ali MacGraw puts it, “Santa Fe Magazine interviews add up to the solid realization that Santa Fe is home to an astounding number of deeply gifted and fascinating residents.”

In June 2026, the magazine is coming to life with the Santa Fe Magazine Festival, a rollicking three days of exclusive interviews, headliner concerts, world-class standup, thought leader roundtables, art tours and VIP dinners at unique locations throughout the city.

The festival’s presenting sponsor is MEA, the world’s first Midlife Wisdom School, offering science-backed workshops and programs that give people in their 40s – 70s the tools, practices, and support to navigate midlife challenges and thrive in the second half of life.

“The Santa Fe Magazine Festival will be as maverick and unpredictable as the magazine has become over the last five years. From the beginning, the festival was planned to be the natural twin to the magazine: the live, in-person complement to the chronicle of the city,” said Santa Fe Magazine founder, Owen Lipstein.

The city of Santa Fe is home to some of the country’s best art and cultural festivals throughout the year. The Santa Fe Magazine Festival is strategically planned for mid-June, a time when the city’s calendar is not as full. “We have created a festival for both the Santa Fe insider and the visitor who wants a true Santa Fe experience,” said the magazine’s cofounder and creative director, John Miller.
